140K VIDEOS?! Wow lol
dont you just love how the area is “well lite” an every detail is visible
(about the auto insurance advertisment that came on before the video started & show’s a Motorcycle crashing w/o a rider & then text saying “a Motorcycle Never Crashes Alone”.) THAT’S BULLSHIT, Anyone who says that has never either been in or to a Beginner/pre-novice 250 (4-Stroke) class Motocross Race. I’ve seen kids let go of their bikes, land on his feet, while his Honda CR125R took off & flew 65-Feet (Height) in the air & clear a 80-Foot (Distance) triple that wasn’t ever meant to be a triple
Good video Tom, you didn’t say any useless BS and you were straight to the point.
5/5
@alexhotmale Turn off the Closed Captioning. It’s the little CC under the video
was someone else able to watch the video other than letters??
you did a better job then expertvillage, who agrees with me
I like your videos. To the point, without lots of extra garbage.
Good time to bleed your brakes while youre there too,
This car looks like a dodge van from 2002 and up. I remember how the brakes looked. Am I right?
why did it take the other people who made brake pad videos like 13 two minute videos to tell me that! I wish I’d have found this one first.
U kno if u just look At the brakes I’m sure u can figure out how to change them u don’t really need a video to tell u
Are you planning to buy a used car? Trust only World of Wheels
“now the first thing you wanna do is make sure you car is all jacked up”……um……my car is beyond jacked up..its almost junkyard material…

THANKS LOT U ALOT OF HELP MAN
@mombo85 oh wow thanks, that makes so much more sense lol
@csidaznigga, he is not putting and old pad bhack in the caliper. he is just pushing the cilinders of the caliper back in place. he took the old pad away afterwards.
you have tu push the cilinders back because your old break pads are usually wear out and when you try to put the caliper back in place it will not fit because it stays to close to the disc because the old pads were thin (wear out) and the new ones are usually some fat shinny babies.
i have a 96 subaru legacy outback and the calipers and disks are rusted to shit should i save em or invest in new? the brakes are frozen too.
@csidaznigga Hes not putting the old pads back on. Hes using the old pads and a c-clamp tool to push the caliper piston back in, for reinstallation.
@lustatus Whats the point of putting the old brake pads back on 1:40?

@wc9394, Spray it with WD40 and wait for around 3 minutes. If possible, extent the length of your ratchet using a hollow metal tube, so as to leverage and increase your torque force, or alternatively use a longer rachet.
